Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and Donald Trump's presidential campaign is starting to display similarities to Ken Starr's probe into Bill and Hillary Clinton. The latest twist in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation feels, as the great American philosopher Yogi Berra once put it, like deja vu all over again.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." - Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution No one ever accused Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz of being a conservative, but Dershowitz is a rare breed these days; someone who applies the Constitution and the law to everyone, regardless of their political leanings.
President Donald Trump told Liberty University graduates that Americans worship God, not government, and to "relish the opportunity to be an outsider." Hillary Clinton compared Trump to Richard Nixon in a fiery speech at Wellesley College.
Former FBI director James Comey says his belief that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 presidential election played a role in the way he handled the investigation into her use of a private email sever as secretary of state. The former FBI director, who was abruptly fired by Trump last year, announced in July 2016 that he would not recommend charges in the investigation of Clinton's email practices.
James Comey said his decision to announce that the FBI was going to look back into the Hillary Clinton email investigation just days before the election was influenced by his belief that she would beat Donald Trump and his desire to make sure that the election results were viewed as legitimate. "I don't remember consciously thinking about that, but it must have been because I was operating in a world where Hillary Clinton was going to beat Donald Trump, and so I'm sure that it was a factor," Comey told ABC News' chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview ahead of the April 17 release of his book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership."
James Comey was fired as the FBI's director in May prompting the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russia's meddling in the 2016 election. As Mueller's investigation into whether Donald Trump's campaign or associates colluded with Moscow moved into a more serious phase, the White House's press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has made several statements about Comey from the podium.

Andrew McCabe, the fired FBI deputy director, misled investigators multiple times about his role in a news media disclosure about Hillary Clinton just days before the 2016 presidential election and authorized the release of information to "advance his personal interests," according to a Justice Department watchdog report. The report alleges that McCabe authorized FBI officials to speak with a Wall Street Journal reporter for a story about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation, in violation of agency rules, and then misled FBI and Justice Department officials when later questioned about it.
The Department of Justice's inspector general released on Friday findings from an internal investigation into fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. McCabe was forced out of the FBI earlier this year as the Office of the Inspector General was putting together the report, which centers on his approval of disclosures to the media in October 2016 related to the bureau's Hillary Clinton email probe.
A report used to justify the recent firing of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was sent to Congress on Friday. McCabe "lacked candor, including under oath, on multiple occasions,'' the report concluded.
Firing back at a sharply critical book by former FBI director James Comey, President Donald Trump blasted him Friday as an "untruthful slime ball," saying, "It was my great honor to fire James Comey!" Trump reacted on Twitter early Friday, the day after the emergence of details from Comey's memoir, which says Trump is "untethered to truth," and describes him as fixated in the early days of his presidency on having the FBI debunk salacious rumors he said were untrue but that could distress his wife. James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR.
Former FBI director James B. Comey's memoir hits bookshelves next Tuesday and his blitz of media interviews begins with "20/20" on Sunday. But The Washington Post obtained a copy of "A Higher Loyalty" and published excerpts on Thursday.
James Comey's much-anticipated memoir A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership doesn't pull any punches when it comes to condemning the roughly 15-month tenure of President Trump. The former FBI director, whom Trump unceremoniously fired, paints a picture of a chief executive only concerned about his own image in the press instead of the safety of the nation.
Former FBI Director James Comey blasts President Donald Trump as unethical and "untethered to truth" in a sharply critical new book that describes Trump as fixated in the early days of his administration on having the FBI debunk salacious rumors he insisted were untrue but could distress his wife. In the forthcoming book, Comey compares Trump to a mafia don and calls his leadership of the country "ego driven and about personal loyalty."
President Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of rage against James Comey on Sunday over the former FBI director's forthcoming book, calling him "slippery," insisting he never asked him for loyalty and labelling him "the WORST FBI Director in history, by far!" Trump fired off a series of tweets ahead of Comey's interview with ABC, which was set to air in full Sunday evening. In an excerpt shown Saturday, Comey said his belief that Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 presidential election was a factor in his decision to disclose the investigation into her emails.
Donald Trump engaged in a months-long effort to secure the loyalty of then-FBI Director James Comey in a series of meetings and phone calls that began in the presidential transition period - behavior Comey likens to that of a mafia boss, Comey writes in a book set for release next week. Those efforts included a now-famous, private White House dinner with Trump just a week after the president was inaugurated, in which Trump, Comey writes, told him: "I need loyalty.
